Description
On the floor of Cortona’s famous golden valley sits the prestigious Villa S. Angelo. The seventeenth century structure boasts a history of noble origins. Built as a country estate for a prominent family from Arezzo with olive groves stretching into the surrounding foothills, the property of approximately 960m2 (~10,000 sq ft) features a tennis court, sunroom, covered barbecue with wood-burning stove, and a swimming pool. The main villa boasts six bedrooms and eight bathrooms with an additional two bedrooms included in the lemon house. It is located an hour from Perugia’s airport.
A family crest adorns the main villa, which is comprised of traditional service zones such as kitchen and laundry on the ground floor, as well as the cellar, a chapel with frescoes, and a lower den.
Exteriorly, an imperial (double) staircase provides access to the main floor where three en-suite bedrooms can be found, as well as the entrance hall which doubles as a reception room with its large marble fireplace, coffered ceilings, and adjacent frescoed hall.
A library, den, and three more en-suite bedrooms comprise the top floor as well as a spacious attic. All rooms are adorned with gorgeous wood paneling, while each bathroom is walled in varying shades of marble.
A sprawling forty-five hectare park (112 acres) is centrally lined by biennially blooming crepe myrtle trees and a meticulous selection of botanical bounty all viewable from the event space which annexes the main villa via a limonaia housing citrus trees in winter with its oversized windows. The Nymphaeum is a centrally located binding point which gracefully adorns the annex, featuring mythological statues and an impressive fountain.
Three set apart buildings can be renovated accordingly. These include a lofty barn, the lemon house with its private apartments upstairs, and a private guest house with independent garage and apartments.
